But this is re-distributing taxpayer money and patting oneself on the back after picking their own pet project.

Please Star-News, and lets not fuel the egos of government workers and the boards overseeing them. The state’s monopoly of the liquor business makes the people running the county ABC stores nothing but glorified tax collectors. “CEO”? Does the person get a state paycheck and pension? Then they are not a CEO. “Profits”? Does the “business” compete in the market? Then don’t talk about profits and “donations”. It leads to the systemic corruption witnessed in the Billy Williams Affair, with many local leaders defending his outrageous salary/bonus/benefits because he was supposedly so great at running the local branch of the non-competitive state run liquor distribution and tax system. Shame on the ABC Chair to delude, at least, the impressionable Star News reporter if not anyone else. Talk about reality distortion!!
